Did America lose because of America?

Or something like that. Consider Fox News Channel's text banner (from Think Progress):
Let's take a look at some numbers from the Iowa caucuses:
  Turnout         Populist Total
Republican 120,000 Huckabee 34% 40,800 Paul, 10% 12,000 52,800
Democrat 220,000 Obama, 38% 83,600 Edwards, 30% 66,000 149,600
Total 340,000         202,400


* - Is Ron Paul a populist? He's definitely anti-establishment.

So, 60% of the voters in the Iowa caucuses went for a populist (50% if you exclude Ron Paul's constituency). Who the hell is Fox kidding?
